W. W. Story, the sculptor, writes from
Rome stating that his design for the Grant
monument has been misrepresented. His
idea is a mausoleum resembling the tomb
of Hadrian, one of the most imposing
monuments of Rome, but necessarily
smaller; q massive circular tower, sur
mounted by a colonnade, above which rise
steps crowned by an equestrian figure of
Grant; around whose base he would place
"a funeral procession in which all the
states, north and south, east and west,
might join, and thus make the monument
national and not sectional, and within to
have a vast sepulchral chamber, in the
center of which should be a recumbent
figure of Grant. illuminated from above" :"
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox's husband, a
stockholder of and travelling salesman for
the Meriden Britannia company, is on the
road great portion of the time and since
his mother, Mrs. Wilcox, and other mem
bers of the family left the city the resi-
dence on Colony street has been lonely
residence for the woman made famous by
the poems of Passion Besides Meri-

only wonder is that woman of such
poetic nature and as refined susceptibilities
could have contented herself in such cold,
unappreciative place as Meriden SO long as
she has. Her health is still much i'm

vacate the present residence the first of
next month, the definite plans for the

| Wilcox returns from his western trip ar
rangements will be made to spend the

One thing is certain, that the fair poetess
will most likely leave Meriden for good
and go back to her old Wisconsin home.
If Mr.. Gould had only his own tastes to
| provide for, according to his son, the Alta
lanta would never have any wines or
| liquors on board, except what might be
included in the medicine chest; neither
would there be cigar. Consideration
for his guests and the members of his
family who indulge in these luxuries leads
to the stocking of the refrigerators with
choice liquors and wines Of the finest vint-
age; but Mr.. Gould himself does not
| touch them. 1t is not because he is O
temperance man on principle, but because
he does not like them. He tried to learn
to smoke once, on the advice of physi-
clan, but gave it up after three cigarettes.
He is fond Of music, and the evenings
aboard the yacht are devoted largely to
musical entertainment in the dining
saloon. This is large enough to accommo
date thirty-two persons comfortably al
the tables, and is readily transformed into
a parlor by folding the tables together
In one end of the saloon is a piano, built
expressly for his yacht. Mr.. Gould him
self does not perform in any branch o
music, but he is good listener, This
applies also to his conversation. Although
he is fluent and interesting talker, he il
surpassed by none in the sympathetic at
tention which he gives to other peoples
utterances. He never ceases to TAKE
pleasure in the subject of his boat.
